I do not choose a movie based on the language, I choose the movies that are great. Therefore, I watch movies made in different languages. Actually some of my best movies are the movies in foreign language. Do you watch foreign language movies, what are your favorite foreign language movies?
 
Movies out of Japan feel like low-budget borderline soap opera casting and filming, so I don't watch any of them, as if I could if I wanted to because they're not dubbed.

Some movies coming out of Europe are good though. I haven't seen many foreign films on Netflix until Covid and the Hollywood strike put a pause on productions.

The last foreign film I watched was The Abyss, a Swedish film about a mine collapse that takes the town above it with it, cratering the town. The acting wasn't that bad, and the special effects could be better, but it wasn't an overall bad movie. It at least broke a 5/10 on IMDb with an aggregated rating of 5.3 from over 9000 raters, which is about where I would place it.

There are several other foreign films that I've watched in the past few years, but can't recall them because I haven't saved that information along with the movies that I've watched; I'm surprised that I remembered the one title as it is.
 
I watch a lot of Kung Fu and Bollywood films. They are such a departure from the Hollywood films many of us know, so they exciting, different and fresh in that respect.
 
As long as there's a subtitle for the foreign movie, I don't have any problem with watching it.

All the Names of God was the last foreign movie I watched. It's a Spanish thriller movie.

It can make the film look a little boring but I still find it enjoyable especially if it's a very interesting story. Foreign movies are a nice opportunity to get acquainted with the way people do things from different counties.

How does subtitles make movies boring when you're not understanding the language used in making the movie? If you're talking about having English subtitles in English speaking movie as a distraction, that I can understand.

Actually, most foreign movies come with a subtitle. Other wise how do you expect people to understand the move? Sometimes it can be too frustrating to read subtitles, especially in the movies where there are too many dialogues
 
Generally, I prefer to have the subtitle for foreign language films. However, I can understand a foreign language movies without subtitle if it is horror, kung-fu or war film. I have watched and enjoyed countless kung-fu and war films without subtitle.
Of course, I fully agree with you. At least you do not have to watch horrors, kung fu, and war movies with subtitles to understand what is going on. I have seen such movies in which the action and the visual presentation alone narrates a lot of the event in it.
